Chemical Attack! Research reveals dogs are under attack by modern chemicals. Canine immune shields, perfectly adapted for the unspoiled wild, are unprepared for modern chemicals. Immune shields fight bravely, but are overwhelmed by a 24/7 onslaught of chemical toxins, foreign substances and man-made compounds. Shields replenish slowly, leaving dogs exposed or under protected.

Killing With Kindness! The more pampered the dog, the greater the risk of chemical attack with lowered shields. The mismatch of old canine immune shields and new chemicals makes your dog vulnerable. But scientific breakthroughs show how to shields up!

Shields Up! Animal Naturals K9 Immune Dog is the first formula designed to support the body's own immune shields two powerful ways:

"Good Guy" probiotics (direct fed microbials) are the first line of defense. More than one billion good guys help repel bad guys, and aid bowel-intestinal function.

An Ounce of Prevention is Worth a Pound of Cure - The best health problems are ones you prevent. But right now, we're not preventing much. We're playing catch-up, chasing an explosion in cancer, premature death, ACL injuries and other formerly rare maladies. Within a single lifetime, domestic dogs have degraded in front of our eyes.

Old Body, New Threats - Canine breeds have morphed through selective breeding, but the eons-old immune-system remains that of the wolf. The canine immune system is adapted to combat physical threats in a long-gone pristine world, long before man made chemicals.

But instead of occasional predators, today's threats are a constant stream of new (and not so new) man made chemicals. These chemicals emit invisible airborne molecules that enter the body. Once inside, they wreak havoc with hormone disruption and lowered immunity.

Mismatch - The "hardwired" immune system reacts to modern chemicals the same as old physical attacks. DNA cannot tell the difference between old and new threats. Severely limited immune fighters rush to counter threats no period which nowadays are chemicals. Problem is, the immune system can't keep pace with ever-increasing chemicals attacks.

The overtime "burn rate" of immune system fighters surpasses the body's ability to regenerate these beneficial molecules fast enough. Immunity crashes; allowing opportunistic diseases to take hold. It's a mismatch. The canine immune system is too old, the chemicals too new and numerous.

Overdrawn - Modern chemicals don't cause disease, per se. Instead, they trigger the body into spending its precious, limited supply of immune boosters. There are so many chemicals (the list grows daily) the immune system becomes depleted, then collapses. That's when disease can take hold fastest.

Dogs Have Become Sitting Ducks! They're increasingly helpless against diseases they had protection against before manmade chemical eroded their immune systems. Modern canine immune balances are overdrawn.

Chemical Backfire - It's Crazy! The modern chemicals created to make us healthier in the end make dogs sicker! We have met the enemy-and it's us! The better-living-through-chemicals has backfired. The chemical chickens have come home to roost.

Catch 22 - It's not exotic, rare chemicals that depress immunity. Common household and dog-related chemicals, plus pollution, are hidden contributors. Everyday dog crates, cleaning solutions, flea treatments and more are the hidden culprits. These modern marvels seemed too good to be true-they are. Science now shows they depress immunity.

Law of Unintentional Consequences - C15H16O2 Recognize this? Neither does your dog's body. It's BPA, a chemical found in many plastics. Drinking bowels, air crates and other "dog-friendly" plastics contain this environmental estrogen that lowers immunity. If you can't pronounce it, chances are the chemical is too new for the dog's evolutionary design to recognize it, and ends up unintentionally lowering immunity. Read BPA article below!

There are other immune lowering chemicals - Perhaps most common is PBDE (polybrominated diphenyl ether; C12H10-xBrxO (x = 1, 2, ..., 10 = m + n)). Flame retardants are the poster child of beneficial chemicals linked to unintended health risks. Closely related to PCBs-a known cancer causing chemical-PBDE is found about everywhere, and in ever increasing levels in animals, fish and humans.
